“It was always said you couldn't have two sisters less alike. In a way [princess] Elizabeth was always internalizing everything and [princess] Margaret was always externalizing everything, so that became the basis. The storyline becomes about these two sisters: they're fighting for their position or trying to establish their identity in the world alongside each other and in relation to this establishment which only those two were a part of.” WorldWayTryingSaidTwoFightingIdentityPositionBasesRelationEstablishmentPrincessStorylineTwo SistersInternalizing Author:Vanessa Kirby
“I knew she was a party girl. The book I liked most on her was called [princess] Margaret: A Life of Contrasts and getting to know her, it was how conflicted her position and her internal life - or self - was. She is so fiercely royal and so fiercely "sister of the queen" or "daughter of the king" because that is her identity and it's all she's ever known. And at the same time she is struggling to push the boundaries and to break away from it, to be different or to modernize the monarchy, to turn it on its head.” KnowsBookDifferentSelfTurnsGirlPartyKnownBreakStruggleIdentityPositionKingsDaughterBoundariesQueensInternalsPrincessContrastRoyalMonarchyParty Girl Author:Vanessa Kirby
“At the same time, [princess Margaret] had a fragility and an insecurity in who she was and her position, because her sister had always got the education ever since David [Edward VIII] abdicated.” PositionInsecurityPrincessFragility Author:Vanessa Kirby
